Regarding Europe's Burqa Wars posted August 25, 2005

It's funny how it's ok for a christian woman to be out in the streets half naked or strip for a living to get men's attention. (or atheist, and all other religion that do not require you to cover. I'm sure you're not going to see a jewish woman shaking her "junk" in the strip club or on a street corner)

But when a muslim women is all covered up people complain.Just because some women prefer to be very moral, does not mean that the immoral ones should get upset at them. And just because christian men want to ogal and stare at half naked christian women, doesn't mean that muslim women want to be ogalled or stared at at all by men period!

Modesty is the reason for the burqa.

"DON'T HATE ON MUSLIM WOMEN BECAUSE YOU ARE LOOSE AND IMMORAL!"
